    i applied through Bowman trailer lease and was turned down because my business is not old enough and I didn't show enough money in my business account.

    Credit score is 730/750. Lived overseas for over a decade and got back 2.5 years ago.

    Keep all $ over $1000 in my wife's name - savings account for liability reasons.

    7 month old EIN. No late payments or bad marks on credit.

    W T F?

    Any suggestions on trailer financing companies that won't rape me?

    Use one of your 18-month, ZERO percent credit cards. Will cost you 2-3% upfront, of the amount taken. Weigh that against your earnings potential with versus without the trailer.

    All the best to you.
